Yours could be a quad, like on my HD6450 video card (13 watts).

A quad can be depressed with a simple hollow metal tube.

Whereas dual semicircular pins, some are shaped a bit
so pliers can grip them. But the worst dual pins offer
no feature whatsoever for grip and a hollow tube does not
work on them either (the tube bottoms out on the PCB and
you can't push with it).

Using your drill bit caddy, you hold drill bits up to the
bottom view of the quad pin, and select a drill bit which matches the
mid-point of the pin cross section. Then take an aluminum piece
and drill a hole in it with your selected drill bit. That will
make you a tool to place over the pin and both compress it and
push it backwards out of the hole.

Once it's shoved back a bit, you can take a pin punch
and ease the stump up through the hole. Even a smaller drill
bit from your drill caddy, can serve as a pushing tool.
